In this life not everything is as it seems. There's a lot of ugliness that we all try to avoid. The world of man will have evil as long as man walks this world. There is goodness, but perfection of humanity is a forlorn hope. There are givers and takers, and those who stand on the sidelines saying "tut tut."
Nell
Nell ? Dressed mutton
Heart of dressed stone
Charged gold coinage for loinage
Bent double cost treble
Took ugly men who craved hand-some
Reared off-springs from bedsprings
Fed habit like rabbit
Too hard for ardour
Allowed subs in her harbour
Pay up front for a mooring
Tied this way and that
To bollards in queues
Like Claudius' wife
Choosing shortness of life
Cramming more into days
Than your fantasy at night
Nell ? A whore?
Nell, a victim
Nell, an illegal
Nell, a prisoner
Nell, a mother
Nell, a user
Nell, but for the Grace of God..........

"Bipolar is a roller-coaster ride without a seat belt. One day you're flying with the fireworks; for the next month you're being scraped off the trolley" I said that.
